Built as N7054X, this 150A came onto the
Australian register in May 1961 through the Rex Aviation
organization
as VH-RDA before being re-registered VH-ELG when sold in June
1961. Three years
later it
became VH-ACI with Aero Pelican Air Charter based at their private
airfield in the Newcastle
suburb of
Belmont. It was used by Pelican for joy rides and for flying
training. It has had several
private
owners since then and is seen above at Cowra, NSW in December 1974, in
this shot by
Mike
Vincent. This (almost) fifty year old straight tailed
150 is still currently registered (2009).
